Children of the Night
One of their interviews has Kanye-scaled “sell out MSG with an extravagant show and just keep the ball rolling” ambitions. Their music takes a lot of what is great about New York hip hop and spits it freshly enough to have won them a lineup spot on the upcoming Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival. And though they may be hitting up the Northside hipster continuum on their way to recognition, they’re definitely devotees of a more classic strain of hip hop than any crap that “hipster rap” name-calling haters would hope to saddle them with.
